GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card

The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO represents the cutting edge of graphics card technology. The TU104-400 graphics chip of the RTX 2080 is built on the Turing architecture, utilises the new 12 nm FinFET manufacturing process in addition to GDDR6-VRAM to make for a significant leap forward in terms of speed when compared to the 10- series. The reason behind the name change to "GeForce RTX" lies in the deployment of Ray-Tracing Technology, this unlocks incredibly realistic lighting and shadow effects.

The base clock of the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO in Gaming Mode is set to 1515 MHz, and under heavy loads the graphics chip increases this using GPU Boost 3.0 to up to 1860 MHz. The graphics card can also be switched into OC mode via the software, which increases the base clock to up to TBA MHz and the boost clock to TBA MHz. The innovative and incredibly fast GDDR6 VRAM is clocked at 7000 MHz (14000 MHz effective), while the capacity of the 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 4K-resolution gaming as well as making immersion in Virtual Reality a treat for the senses. In terms of the cooler design, a triple-fan cooler is utilised.
